Crossword Genius

England and France's main bowler? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seamer

'bowler?' is the definition.
(short for a seam bowler in cricket)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for seamer that I've seen before include "The joiner" , "cricket fixture?" , "Swing bowler" , "Type of quick bowler" , "sewer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
